Brooks Pierce partner Joey Ponzi was recently profiled in the Triad Business Journal for his recognition in the publication’s 2018 “40 Leaders Under 40.” Ponzi was selected for the honor based on his work as an environmental lawyer as well as his service with the Peacehaven Community Farm and the Greensboro College board of trustees.

In the profile, Ponzi discusses his volunteer work, career highlights, hobbies and family. He also shares advice for those entering the workforce: “It can be a challenge in any new career to focus on anything beyond the immediate job demands, and learning how to meet them. But it’s important to look up from time to time to get your bearings. Be intentional about understanding the trends in your industry and spend time thinking about how to act accordingly.”
